The Coroner's Jury's Verdict in the

A VERY SURPRISING DECISION.
The Matter to BE brought Before the
Grand Jury-Thc New York
Dude Killed on n French
Field OF Honor.
The Killing OF Graham.


LONDON, Nov. 3O.-INew York Herald
Cabe-Special to the BEE. TO the surprise
of the police. as its counsel said to your cor.
respondent, coronor's jury to-day brought
in verdict of manslaughter only against
Doherty, late of Philadelphia for shooting
Graham, of Rochester. The police say that
next Monday the case will go to the grand
jury as one of murder, because there wero
two shots fired by Dohcrty and both could
not have been an accident, as the Jury seemed
to think. Many American friends of both
Doherty and Graham were present The oc.
cupants of the house testified that they heard
two shots, the last after an interval. lnspec-
tor Pinhorn read dying statement and also
one made in the presence of the accused. 1t
was as follows:
~ saw Dohcity at 1880 and was with him
till we went home We had some conversa-
tion about 5000 that he had lost and which he
said he should not pay l told him he ought
to- took up a newspaper to read. Doherty
went to his bedroom, and when he came back
he fred at me. l can't say that he pointed
the revolver at me because had the news
paper After Dohcrty had fired he said to
himself, Fire, fire, fire. l said to him, You
have hit me- He did not attempt to assist
me. He went down stairs and Mrs. Doherty
came and felt of my pocket to see if had a
revolver, and only for fear he would fire
again ut mel then said it was an accident"
The coroner allowed Mrs. Doherty to make
a statement. BY English law she cannot be-
a witness. She stated to the jury under
oath, with emotion, that Doherty, her hus-
band, was of Independent means. They
came over to this country five months ago.
On the 2lst her husband and the deceased re-
turned home about 7:30, and when they
entered the room both of them were laugh
drinking. She heard her husband tell tho
deceased that he would show him new re-
volver he had bought. The deceased went
| to his bedroom and Doherty returned with u
revolver, which went off, on which witness,
| without knowing who was shot, went down
afterwards the deceased came down
stairs and said that he was hit.
! Witness asked him if he was sure, and he re-
| piled yes and asked her to get him pen and
| ink, for it was an accident. There was no
| quarreling in the room, the deceased and her
| husband being on the best of terms. The de-
| ceased was friend of her husbands, but
| whether her husband had been in the habit of
| lending him money she could not state. The
revolver was bought for the witness because
| she was so nervous. She heard both shots 20
| off
Before returning their verdict the coroner's
jury were long time consulting.
